Million Dollar Chip

Every time you remove and re-install grips you risk chipping them if you are not careful.

Dropping a Luger on a wood part would likely damage it.

I expect many people change out parts including the grips to take them out to the range and shoot them.

But, I think a better approach is to have a Luger that you just use for shooting that already has lost it's collector value. I have a matching Mauser 1937 "42" code Luger with holster rash (pitting) on one side that I regularly shoot.

Well , I have but 1 luger at this point ... and I'd like to take it to the range.

Since starting this thread I did a close inspection of the area in question - I think I may have a repaired chip. Have a look ---

Try to get some VoPo grips and use them for shooting instead of the originals.

kurusu -

Good advice. As coincidence would have it I just pushed the button on a nice pair of VOPO grips earlier today .

Thank you.
